The Bombay Habitual Offenders Act, 1959

The Bombay Habitual Offenders Act, 1959

The Gujarat Short Titles (Amendment) Act, 2011 is a state law designed to update and rename legacy legislation inherited by the State of Gujarat from the former State of Bombay. Following the bifurcation of the bilingual Bombay State on May 1, 1960, numerous statutes in force in Gujarat retained the word "Bombay" in their official titles. This Act systematically amends those statutory titles by substituting modern nomenclature suitable for Gujarat. It applies throughout the State of Gujarat, providing legal clarity for citizens, legal practitioners, and public authorities while preserving the validity of historical statutory citations and existing legal proceedings.
